Overview

Why Singapore?

Singapore's tax system is one of the most competitive worldwide. The corporate tax rate is 17%, but small and medium enterprises benefit from significant tax exemptions: the first SGD 100,000 of profit is 75% exempt, the next SGD 100,000 is 50% exempt. Effectively, many companies pay less than 10%. After the initial 3-year startup exemption period, the Partial Tax Exemption applies: 75% of the first SGD 10,000 and 50% of the next SGD 190,000 of chargeable income are exempt.

GST (Goods and Services Tax) is 9% and is only mandatory from an annual turnover of SGD 1 million. There is no capital gains tax and no withholding tax on dividends.

Strasia Group offers complete accounting and tax services for Singapore: from ongoing bookkeeping to ACRA annual reports and IRAS tax filing. We use QuickBooks and Xero and communicate via WhatsApp, Telegram, or email.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tax exemptions exist for new companies?

New Singapore companies benefit from the Startup Tax Exemption in the first 3 years: 75% of the first SGD 100,000 and 50% of the next SGD 100,000 of profit are tax-exempt. Afterwards, the Partial Tax Exemption applies.

When do I need to register for GST?

GST registration is only mandatory from an annual turnover of SGD 1 million. Below that, registration is voluntary.

What software does Strasia Group use?

We use modern cloud-based accounting software such as QuickBooks and Xero. Documents can be submitted via Google Drive, Dropbox or post. Communication is via WhatsApp, Telegram and email.

When is the corporate tax return due in Singapore?

Form C-S / C must be filed with IRAS by 30 November. The Annual Return with ACRA is due within 7 months after the financial year end.

Does my SG company need audited accounts?

Small companies are exempt from the audit requirement if they meet at least 2 of 3 criteria: annual revenue below SGD 10M, total assets below SGD 10M, fewer than 50 employees. All others are subject to mandatory audit.

Can Strasia handle bookkeeping fully remotely?

Yes — we handle all bookkeeping, annual accounts and tax filing fully remotely. Documents are submitted via Google Drive, Dropbox or post. Communication is via WhatsApp, Telegram and email.

What penalties apply for late tax filing in Singapore?

IRAS imposes penalties for late filing of tax returns (Form C/C-S) and may issue an estimated Notice of Assessment. Repeated non-compliance can result in fines up to SGD 1,000 and, in extreme cases, criminal prosecution. Timely filing is therefore essential.
